Lights in car not functioning.

about the 2005 Mitsubishi Galant ES

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Recently after replacing my radio in the car, a few lights in and out of the car went out. The temperature gauge lights (besides the buttons), the shifter lights, and my passenger side tail light all have gone out. I have not tried messing with the interior lights, but I have replaced the fuse for the tail light and the fuse only blows when I turn the lights on. Any idea as to what it could be?

1 Answer

Doesn't sound like you disconnected the battery during the radio
install. If not you will sometimes get blown fuses, which you found. I
can see the interior light and dash functions being effected but not
sure why the tail light fuse blows, I would remove the radio again
and recheck all your wiring. Don't forget to disconnect the vehicle
batteries negative cable.
